Abstract
Lead-free barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanofiber material is an attractive functional material. However, as a ceramic material, its inherent brittleness significantly limits its widespread application. Herein, we optimized the solution blow spinning process using aerodynamic simulations, enabling the efficient fabrication of layered barium titanate/aluminum oxide (BaTiO3/Al2O3) ceramic nanofiber aerogels. The incorporation of amorphous Al2O3 repaired the defects in the nanofibers, providing aerogels with outstanding mechanical properties. For example, these aerogels can support nearly 1000 times their own weight, exhibit a tensile strain of 11%, and demonstrate exceptional compressive resilience and fatigue resistance. Additionally, the aerogels demonstrated superior performance in flexible electronics, thermal protection, sound absorption, and high-temperature filtration. This research paves the way for the large-scale production and extensive application of flexible piezoelectric ceramic aerogels.
